ABSTRACT:
A panel fastener for rigidly interengaging two members so that the resultant assembly contains a substantially flush exposed surface. Each of the members contains a row of holes adapted to be aligned with a row of holes in the other member. One of the members has an engaging surface for contact with the other member and has a receptacle portion extending therefrom. A row of cups is in the receptacle portion with every other cup in communication with a hole in the one member. A longitudinal pin is shiftably mounted in the one member and extends through the cups. A biasing element is in each cup not aligned with a hole and is retained in position by engagement with the pin. A stud element is adapted to extend through the aligned openings in the members and has a cam slot adapted to engage with the pin. Finally, the stud element is extendable entirely within the members from one side thereof so as to provide an exposed flush surface and is rotatable between an open and closed position so that when the stud is rotated to the closed position the pin will follow the cam slot and will bias the biasing element in each adjacent cup to retain the pin in the closed position and the members in rigid interengagement.
